The Ranch Restaurant & Saloon

We rented a private room to celebrate my grandma’s 90th birthday. We had a fantastic time. Joel was helpful and professional. He steered us right with a chefs choice appetizer menu that allowed us to sample what felt like all of the apps. My martini was delectable. Come hungry, I was incredibly full after our mains. Everyone raved about the steaks. Dessert was great, they have espresso and decaf espresso as well as a big menu of after dinner sippers. We would come back!

Came for my hubby’s birthday dinner, Joe provided excellent and professional service! He gave us great suggestions on menu. The food was on point, we loved their seasonal maple-glazed Brussels spouts(by far the best I’ve ever had) and the beef carpaccio. For the entree we ordered the 40oz dry-aged bone-in New York Delmonico, it’s good for two people so it’s a great option for date night! Loved it with the Cabernet reduction & Hollandaise sauce. Very good dining experience, highly recommended for meat lovers!

My husband and I were in the mood for a good steak dinner after a long week so we decided to try The Ranch in Anaheim. First impression; The location is strange, within an office type building, with zero ambiance and a view of nothing. The restaurant is large, like a moose, but the lighting is nice and helps distract from the size. Take note- If you like cute, romantic, or cozy ambiance, this is not your place. It’s very loud inside as well. Drinks (martinis) were decent but not anything special. The service was good, knowledgeable, and friendly, and the food was seasoned well and delivered in a timely manner, But the temperature of the food ($170 Porterhouse steak, green beans, loaded baked potato) were all served at room temp, not hot at all! We as most people, like our food delivered hot at the table, so this was a big faux pas for us! For a steakhouse at this price point everything should come out of the kitchen hot and fresh. The best items we had were the bread and the wedge salad. Needless to say we were a bit disappointed in our experience and will not return. We have a list of our favorite restaurants we frequent and sadly this one doesn’t make the cut.

The Ranch is a fantastic restaurant the strikes the perfect balance between being fancy while still serving delicious satisfying food. It’s a bit upscale without being pretentious, and while expensive, the prices aren’t insulting. All the dishes and cocktails have clearly been designed with care and attention to detail. This is my favorite “fancy date” place to go. I highly recommend the quail tenders and beet salad for starters. I’m a huge fan of this place.

I have been here twice, once last February and two days ago. The first time I had an excellent experience and the food was great. This time, maybe because it was the day after a holiday, I found the bread a bit too dry (tasted like it was from a day or two before) and the menu had been changed for the worse I have to admit. Always great the ceviche dish. My advice is not to rely on past experiences and check the menu first. Also the sommelier explaining wine to a table that was not so close to ours was a bit too loud, I understand an 8-person table should hear at the same time but not at the expense of another table when you have a $300 tab for two

Classic, sophisticated, and marvelous!! I love the lamb chops, it’s cooked perfectly with glistening charred, and delicious brown sauce. The cocktails are good. I wish there are more varieties. However, our dining experience is excellent, which is perfect for a date night or celebrating special occasions. Love the atmosphere here, strong masculine vibes, from the decorations, to the leather couches, dimmed lights, and the bar collections. Love the service and the overall space, music fits the theme.
